Kate Wolf (Kathryn Louise
Allen) (January 27, 1942 – December 10, 1986) was an
American folk singer and songwriter. Though her career was relatively
short, she had a significant impact on the folk music scene, and
many musicians continue to cover her songs. Her best-known
compositions include "Here in California", "Love Still Remains",
"Across the Great Divide", "Unfinished Life", and "Give Yourself to
Love".

NOTE: Kate (along with fellow musician Don Coffin to whom she was married at
the time) also appears on the 1973 album We Walked by the
Water by folksinger Lionel Kilberg. This album was
re-released in 1995 under the title Breezes and credited
to Kate alone on the front cover. Her family was not thrilled about
this and have explicitly gone on record as stating that Kate did
not consider this album to be representative of her work.[1]

Interestingly, both We Walked by the Water and Kate's
own album Lines on the Paper are dedicated to the late Gil
Turner, who Kate and Don first met via Lionel Kilberg. Kate
subsequently recorded her own version of Gil's much-covered folk
anthem "Carry It On".

In 1998, a tribute album entitled, Treasures
Left Behind: Remembering Kate Wolf, was released by Red House
Records. The album contains Kate Wolf songs performed by
various artists, and the booklet contains tributes and remembrances
about her.
